    摘要: A dynamic administration framework for server systems. A generation mechanism may generate one or more components of the administration framework from meta-information describing persistently stored configuration information. Components providing an in-memory representation of configuration information and components representing business logic of the server may be generated. A user interface may be generated which may be used to administer the generated components. A configuration API may be provided that provides a transparent interface to the persistent store, abstracting storage format and location from clients of the configuration API. A generated administration framework may be compiled with application server or system-specific components. The compiled system may then be used at runtime. One embodiment may include an event notification mechanism that may allow changes in configuration data to be propagated to one or more servers. Using this event notification mechanism, the listening servers may not need to access the persistent store for updates.

    摘要: A method and system for handling requests from a user and rendering a resulting page in HTML useful in effectuating aspects of an order management system, which reduces the redundancy in the underlying code required to effectuate the HTML page. An embodiment of the present invention modularizes various parts of an HTML page, effectuating the re-use of certain portions of code, advantageously reducing redundancy. In one embodiment, the present invention associates each HTML page with a form mapped to a servlet in a system backend. The servlet performs appropriate action based on corresponding user action. Each user action calls a set of re-usable helper class methods. Upon completion of processing, the servlet calls a render method. The active render method internally calls re-usable render methods in helper classes. These populate NTV data used by a JSP to generate a new HTML page accordingly.

    摘要: A pluggable semantic verification and syntactic validation mechanism for server configuration information. In one embodiment, the data verification and validation mechanism may be implemented as modules that may be plugged into a framework. In one embodiment, the mechanism may include a generic test case framework that may call test cases to verify and validate changes to configuration information. In one embodiment, each test case may implement an interface through which the framework calls a test case. The test case may return results, e.g. whether the test passed or failed, and may return additional information, e.g. why the test failed. If the change is valid, then the change may be made to the configuration information. If the change is not valid, the change is not made or alternatively is made with a warning. If the change is made, one or more other servers may be notified of the change.

    摘要: A computer software tool for processing timecard related information representing services to be billed wherein the software tool is part of a purchase order procurement system. The software tool is single software system for procurement services composed of a timecard module integrated with a procurement management module. The timecard process includes a base of functions compatible with existing procurement software systems. The system allows a contractor (buyer) to generate a timecard including services, descriptions and amounts. The generation of the timecard triggers a notification to an approving body which then either approves or declines the timecard. Once approved, timecard information can be exported, e.g., using XML, to a payroll or other external service. The timecard information is processed by the procurement system like any other purchase order item and, moreover, the suites of functionality of the procurement system that relate to purchase order items are also available for timecard information. Approvals can be accomplished by email transmitted notifications and email transmitted forms.
